A full-scale field study of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and manganese (Mn) emissions from coal combustion was carried out at six coal-fired power plants in China. Simultaneous sampling of coal, bottom and fly ashes, flue gas, and the byproducts from wet FGD process was performed. The formation of partic...
